Average Customer Rating: 4.0 out of 5
1) Great Hate Music if your going through a break-up! [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Are you upset from a relationship that has just ended?? Then check out this "spiffy" album to help you get over it!!2) A trip down Page Avenue is a dream vacation [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I have been listening to metal/screamo/punk/indie records for sometime now. I have a very wide taste and have heard just about all most of those genres have to offer. SOTY was one of the first bands I ever heard from those mentioned genres. This being the cd I heard. I own both this cd and their sophomore effort "In the Wake of Determination." Both cds have similar sounding songs but PA has so much more rawness and grit to it. The guitars hit hard in both albums, but the vocals are so much more heartfelt in Page Avenue. Dan did what most lead singers do in their second or third cds, go soft. You can only scream they way they do so much before your vocal chords tell you they've had enough. If you ask me, Dan's scream is probably the most clean cut and best sounding out there in this cd compared to others in the genre. Stand out tracks are ofcourse, Until the Day I Die, Anthem of Our Dying Day, and Razorblades. All tracks are decent.3) AAH! TURN IT OFF! [Rating: 1 out of 5]
Matt let me borrow it, so I forced myself to listen to the whole album, and it was horrible! Like Kiss!MATT: HEY! HOW DARE YOU INSULT KISS AND STORY OF THE YEAR?!?!?WHAT IS WRONG WIT YO BRAIN?????4) Awesome Album [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I have 'In the Wake of Determination' but I think this is a solid album. Every song is performed well and they're all extremely well written. The stand out songs are: 'Until The Day I Die','Anthem of Our Dying Day','Sidewalks',and 'Swallow the Knife'. This is a great punk/hardcore album and Story of the Year is one of the best bands out there.5) Pretty dam good [Rating: 4 out of 5]
this album intorduced me to story of the year, not the new wake of determination which i find pretty disappointing. this basically got me into screamo (not too intense - stuff like the used and silverstein). overall its a very good album, not perfect but pretty dam good. it only took me one or two listens to get into it and there are no songs that are too bad. and the hero will drown is AMAZING.. the perfect song in my eyes... excellently timed screaming, beautiful guitar, pretty good lyrics. if in doubt just download songs 1 through 3.
